Over the sea ( bridge) to Skye

 Day two.

Fortunately the rain stopped sometime over night and we set off the next morning in the dry, the sun was trying to break through the clouds and the loch was still.


We headed out towards Fort William to stock up on food ( for two days, very small fridge but no nearby shops at the next campsite ) and onwards towards Skye.


Passed a few curious locals on the way.


After an hour or two we spotted the bridge. We have made this journey many times over the last 30 years and remember queuing for the ferry and seeing the bridge being built.



We stopped off to visit with friends before heading to the campsite , once again we were reminded how much we love this island.


Then this happened....

Weird request today from a long haired, bearded biker. Would I be able to spin the bit of fleece that he found on a bush for him. I did (only a foot or so, mixed in a little Cheviot that I was working on ) and was paid with a duck egg and a pin badge off his leather jacket !!strangest exchange so far.

Yep, I was sat spinning and found myself the proud owner of a duck egg and a badge. !!



As sunset is currently at 9.45, we just managed to stay awake to see if we would get an interesting display over the loch.


We weren't too disappointed.😀😀😀😀
